Experience and Education:

My name is Emily, and I am currently pursuing my Doctorate in Occupational Therapy at Abilene Christian University. As part of my doctoral capstone project, I am exploring the role of occupational therapy in supporting individuals with diabetes management. I am excited to be partnering with Lauren Newman Nutrition Therapy through December.

My passion for this work is deeply personal: my brother lives with Type 1 diabetes, and his journey has inspired me to advocate for and educate others navigating life with diabetes. I approach my practice with a collaborative, holistic perspective that values the whole person, not just their diagnosis.

Outside of my studies and work, I enjoy spending time in nature, visiting the beach, being with dogs, reading, and playing games with family and friends.
